About me

Come talk to me about advocacy!
I'll be presenting on Saturday at 11:15 am on the 3rd floor Ballroom; Celestin B on Grassroots Supported Civic Engagement.

As an Advocacy Program Specialist at The Arc of Illinois, I serve as the Going Home Coalition Manager and the REV UP Illinois Director. Previously, I served on the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities from 2014 until 2020. During my tenure on the Council, I served on its Executive Committee and chaired the Community Housing and Inclusion Committee.
I am deeply passionate about creating affordable, community-supported, inclusive, and accessible housing options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. To further this mission, I completed the Permanent Supported Housing Institute. I firmly believe that communities are strengthened through diversity and inclusion.
Additionally, I am certified as a Financial Wellness Trainer for People with Disabilities through the National Disability Institute. With a Master’s degree in Interior Design, I am also a Certified Aging in Place Specialist with advanced coursework in Universal Design. Currently, I am currently in Illinois' Partners in Policymaking class.
My husband and I have two children—our daughter, who has developmental disabilities, and our son, who is non-disabled.
